The women of Paris SG, blown 6-1 in mid-November in Lyon, took a dazzling revenge on Saturday January 29 in Saint-Germain-en-Laye (Yvelines), against their big rivals (3-0) in the eighth of French Cup final.
The light came from the silky left foot of Sandy Baltimore, the young 21-year-old winger concretizing the Parisian domination of a volley (48th). Kadidiatou Diani (76th) and Marie-Antoinette Katoto (85th) hit the nail on the head, giving PSG one of their greatest successes against Lyonnaises.
For the “Fenottes” of OL, at the top of the Championship, there will be no third consecutive title in the Coupe de France, after 2019 and 2020 (the 2021 edition has been canceled).

The poster between the two historical rivals of women’s football could also see in its works the Parisian Kheira Hamraoui, victim of a violent ambush ten days before the sinking in Lyon in the Championship, and holder on Saturday for the second time in a row, six days after his recovery in the championship in Saint-Etienne (5-0) . Despite a few lost balls, the former FC Barcelona midfielder has often spoken about her technical accuracy and her power.
Endler injured
His long passes also made it possible to launch several offensives. One of them resulted in the biggest action in Paris in the first period. Launched by the No. 10, Kadidiatou Diani escaped on the right wing before crossing for Katoto whose recovery, countered, fell behind the crossbar (29th).
On the action, Lyon goalkeeper Christiane Endler, who left Paris last summer, injured her adductors, and had to be replaced just before half-time by Emma Holmgren.
Lyonnaises and Parisiennes have an appointment at the end of May in the Championship, but their reunion could take place earlier. They could cross swords in the semi-finals of the Champions League in April.
